Impala LS 3.8L V6

Well, the car does have 110,000 miles on it however, it has been maintained to the tee. I think these cars should not have such serious problems with just over 100,000 on them. It might be time to look overseas.

(reported on)Impala Base 3.4L V6
- Automatic transmission
- 62,000 miles
It started when I bought the car used about a year ago (5/06) with about 40,000 miles on it. At first, only about once every month the trany would slip from a start from a light. I thought the tires were slipping on the white painted line on the street. Then it happened more and more and now was doing it after I was already rolling. It would slip out of gear, grind and slip back into gear. I took it to Continental Transmission and they had to rebuild the trany at an expense of $1,300

Impala 3.4L V6
Well I bought my 2003 Impala off my parents because they wanted a newer car being that this Impala had 100K on it. So we bought the car and being a maintenance man I did all of the maintenance procedures for 100K. New plugs and wires, I am going to change the fuel filter and I did change the transmission fluid and filter myself. Well after doing the fluid and filter change the transmission has decided to start slipping. Not just on a green light with moderate gas, it is slipping into every forward gear! My dad changed the trans fluid and filter at 50K as the maintenance book says and I guess had no problems. Well we did get to drive it for a few months and it drives like a dream. Well it did until I followed the book and changed the trans fluid and filter.
I had a 2000 Saturn with a 2.4L engine and the trans would slip horribly into reverse and 2nd gear. We eventually had a trans put in the car and that fixed the problem for a cool $2,000. So I just might be looking to sell my Impala before it becomes a more noticeable problem.
ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM. NEVER CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID ON A GM CAR!!!!!!!!!!
